Student Devices
All Cedar Rapids Community School District students are issued a Chromebook at the beginning of the school year. The Chromebooks are equipped with an 11-inch touchscreen display, 360-degree hinge, two cameras, and protective case.
CRCSD is also partnering with Project 10 Million by T-Mobile, a national effort to provide free hotspot devices to students. These hotspots provide free wireless connectivity to students.
Visit project-10-million to see if your student is eligible.
Students must complete a student device acknowledgement form, student Google account acknowledgement form (middle and high school only), and student device agreement form before being issued a device. These forms can be found below.

GoGuardian (web filtering)
CRCSD uses GoGuardian content filtering to block access to inappropriate websites and material on CRCSD-owned devices. The filtering in place is used to abide by CIPA requirements for schools along with other CRCSD choices to help with the education process for your student.
As part of CRCSD’s commitment to your student’s safety, you can install the GoGuardian Parent app on your smartphone. The app allows parents to view their students’ internet history while using CRCSD devices as well as receive weekly emails on your student. We do not manually put parent/student information into GoGuardian. Instead, we run an automated process that gathers the required information from within Infinite Campus. In order to use the GoGuardian app on your smartphone, you must ensure your contact email (that you want to receive GoGuardian reports on) is correct inside Infinite Campus. Please note your email can not be your student’s school email address.
